Suggested Page Improvements to Sedona Area

would like to see something similar to this from the Zion Section: "***** RAIN AND WET ROCK ***** The sandstone in SEDONA is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN SEDONA during or after rain. A good rule of thumb is that if the ground near your climb is at all damp (and not powdery dry sand), then do not climb. There are many alternatives (limestone, granite, basalt, and plastic) nearby."

I also recommend avoiding Sedona until 3 days of sunshine has dried a recent rain.
